Professional Development in ScienceProcessing Scientific Data

February 2014

Learning Goal

Investigate a model of instruction to engage students in scientific inquiry.

Success Criterion

Create a plan to purposefully spiral scientific processes into current lesson plans.

Intentional Science Conversation

Question Focus

Capture the students’ interest and provide them with a reason to design and carry out an investigation.

Get students to ASK QUESTIONS!!!

Reaction Time

How QUICK are you?

OrDownload one of the free apps – search

“Reaction Time”

Will using the non-preferred hand affect

reaction time?

Experiment and Collect Data

Variation: Give students sets of

data

Give Students a Set of Data

Analyze and Explain the Data

• Make sense of the data collected and develop a conclusion based on evidence.

• Create a display to include the question, the claim, the support, and the explanation.

Simple but Effective

The Question: Will using the non-preferred hand affect reaction time?The Claim

The Support

(Insert Data)

The Explanation

(Include Data and Research)

This graphic organizer

helps students WRITE a

conclusion!!!

Share Data and Explanation

• students share their arguments and critique the arguments of their classmates.

• each team has an opportunity to revise their arguments in order to make them better.

Shift 4: Read, write and

discuss text based

evidence

Write an Investigation report

Goal of the investigation

or Hypothesis

Methods used during the

investigation to collect data

Final Argumentor

ConclusionFormat could be a graphic organizer,

paragraph, power point, etc.

Shift 5: Write from multiple sources

Increase Rigor in Assessments

PLC Suggestion

• Identify areas where you can add more data processing lessons.

• Share one of your best resources for collecting data or obtaining data sets

• Set a goal to add one data processing activity this month and try it! Next month share your experience.

Let’s take a break
